Added support for a blue-only deployment strategy #21

Closed jlabrecque closed 10 years ago

jlabrecque commented 10 years ago

We have a need to be able to deploy some legacy applications to the cloud but leave them on the inactive "blue" instances until some manual verification can be done. The CNAME swap can be made at a later date once approval has been given.

Hi, I was thinking this can be implemented by creating a BlueOnly class which does exactly what you need. I might want to pull this in but refactor it to above if that sounds good to you.

I started down that road but then started over because it felt a bit more like an option for the blue green deployment. I am fine with that approach though, I went back a forth a couple times.

jlabrecque commented 10 years ago

I refactored this so the BlueOnly strategy is it's own class instead of a flag on the existing BlueGreen strategy. Please take another look at it.

Hi, I just merged your pull request. It would be great if you could send a writeup with an example of how you are using it. I can publish that with the rest of the documentation we have(with credit to you).

If you feel comfortable sharing the business domain and organization name you are working for, it would be great for us to showcase on the website.

Thanks Sudhindra.
